Finally started

I have had my 1950 F4 since 1987. In 1995 my keys were in a briefcase that was stolen. After that life seemed to get in the way of truck time. Today with the help of friends we started the truck. It took a while to figure out why I had not been able to get spark, but as soon as that was fixed it started and ran.

Congrats on the milestone. Is there much work to make her roadworthy?

It is still a project

The big hold up over the years was the WM wheel situation. Thanks to Stu I have wheels and tires. I also have a better cab I got on eBay. It is hard to stay motivated when I just could not get it started. I have been collecting parts for years. So I hope to have progress now.

I will let you know. Thanks for the offer. The existing cab could use them, but i got a cab from Utah that seems pretty solid.
